Dear Brother Bob,
God gave us a long time together, but I still miss you and wish we could have had even more. Mom and Dad taught us the importance of family and we took that seriously and you, me, Andy and Eddie always stayed in touch, always supported each other and we brought that same thing to our families.
God Bless the Contrones.
love, Jack
